2ft Steel rule anyone?

[Orcade-Ian]

Fitting some 500mm carpet tiles in our bathroom and thought it might be a good idea to buy a 2ft steel rule to make measuring awkward places a bit easier. A tape rule is awkward to use accurately.  I already have a 300mm (1 ft) which is sometimes too short and a 1 metre one which is sometimes too long where pedestals and toilets are.

Saw this on ebay today, should I go for it?

We are having some floor tiling fitted at the moment.The guy doing it has a flat steel 4 m straight edge about 8cm wide that just winds up into a coil. So cool! Boys and toys etc.

Snap it up Ian! They’ve sold 2 already. 🤣🤣🤣

I bought a 2ft steel rule, but I think I paid a bit less.

  Ask if they do one with line of cords . You may have to pay a little more but they are useful.

Snap it up, there could be a profit in it in 500 year's time.

It made me wonder what these folks are on!  I thought a genuine 550 F full exhaust system at £2995 was a bit steep, but that ruler must be a record (or is that a 7"disc with a hole in the middle?)
I do like the sound of that flexible coiled strip that Tim mentioned though, must do a search for one of those.

When they have none in stock....the price defaults to a nonsense figure....just to stop any further enquiries. I suppose it has something to do with the Seller not having to end the 'Auction/ Sale' because they are out of stock and then having to redo the whole advert again when stock becomes available once more.
just my view of course...and I am often wrong....especially where VAR is concerned. I have to agree with the Spurs Manager Antonio Conte who said "How can they get the VAR decisions wrong....all they have to do is sit in front of a TV screen and see what happens and then make a decision'" !

Yes, there is an ebay seller I buy from occasionally who does just that. Maybe it saves on some fees?
